Moremi Wildlife Reserve

Moremi, about 37 miles (60km) from Maun, is a 1,160 square mile
(3,000 sq km) reserve set in the middle of the Okavango Delta in
one of the world's most pristine wilderness areas. It consists of a
network of waterways surrounding two main islands: Chief's Island
in the west and Mopane Tongue in the east. The reserve can be
reached by air or road via Maun. Self-driving in the reserve is
recommended only for experienced four-wheel-drive enthusiasts and
only during the dry months. It is otherwise suggested that visitors
arrange to be transported from Maun or make use of the vehicle
safaris and boat trips offered from the reserve's luxury
lodges.

A wonderful way to see the delights of the Delta is on a mokoro
(a dug-out canoe), which is poled through the waterways by
experienced guides. The adventurous can opt to stay in one of three
serviced campsites in the reserve. These are unfenced and therefore
provide an opportunity to experience nature at its purest form in
the heart of Africa. The reserve itself is fenced, and therefore,
with a diversity of habitats, it guarantees game sightings
throughout the year.
